Hotel Sileo

It’s great being only a five-minute walk from Termini, and the price is good. The rooms are dated, though clean. We stayed twice, and the WiFi was very weak in some rooms, depending on which one we got. Rick Steves recommends staying here too. An elderly couple manages the hotel; they don’t speak English and keep everything in cash and a paper diary.

The facilities aren’t new, but they’re well maintained and work fine. The rooms have air conditioning, a television, a closet, and tables and chairs. It’s a great hotel near Termini. The staff live there, and there’s no cafeteria available.

A friendly host.

The owners are an elderly couple, and they’re incredibly welcoming. It’s worth taking some time to chat with them. The hotel is a beautiful old building in the Termini area, just one block from the train station entrance. Its reception and facilities have the feel of an old Italian mansion, with dark, fine wood paneling and large windows. The rooms are very spacious, with a closet and desk, plus a bathroom in separate compartments, almost like an apartment. The building’s age is exactly what gives it its charm.
